The actual situation I think is close to: "of the hundred or so developers once employed by Sun on OpenOffice.org, about 15 of them are still participating in open source development derived from the OpenOffice.org codebase. Of those about half work on Apache OpenOffice and half on LibreOffice" (corrections giving actual numbers and ratios welcome BTW). Thus words like "large" or "many" seem overstatement in connection with either AOO or LO. S.
